Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated five brownfield expansion projects worth Rs. 3,500 crore on Sunday at the Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) and Yantra India Ltd in Kolkata. The minister highlighted the rapid advancements in shipbuilding technology and emphasized India's potential to become a global shipbuilding hub, thereby reducing dependence on foreign countries.

He expressed his happiness at Bengal's progress and announced that the state would be completely developed under the current administration. GRSE had recently signed lease agreements with Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMPK) for two small shipyards and a 32-acre riverside property at Raichak.
